What is the purpose of the FMQ-19 system?

The FMQ-19 system is specifically designed to provide accurate and timely weather data for particular locations. This capability is essential for various operations, especially in military contexts where weather conditions can significantly affect mission planning and execution. The system gathers meteorological information, which can include temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation, among other data points. By delivering localized weather information, the FMQ-19 supports decision-making processes that rely on environmental conditions, thus ensuring that operations are conducted safely and effectively.

While other systems may involve communications with aircraft, navigation, or radar performance assessments, those functions are not the primary role of the FMQ-19, which focuses solely on delivering vital weather data.
